P.S. Do people like these "What's making you happy this week" emails? Few people respond to them, so I don't know whether people like them, feel that they are a nuisance, or are indifferent. If you would like to share feedback, you can email me off-list or leave a message on my Meta talk page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pine. If you like these threads then you are welcome to contribute your own Wikimedia-related good news to them, which I would be glad to read.
I like them and on the whole are informative. <grumpy> It makes a change to read positive messages which have content, as most other positive messages tend to be pile on congratulations-spam, which can be pretty irritating if they make your email ping ten times in the same day. </grumpy>
What's making me happy this week is finding my upload project stopped by getting IP blocked by the Library of Congress, but then discovering their rather good improvements to making all records publicly available in JSON format, in turn making the upload project give better results on Commons.[1]
